A Precious Gift
"Besides, without your guidance, I might not have been able to enter Green Water City unscathed."
"How could I accept such a valuable gift? Please, senior, take it back."
"Oh, right, I haven't asked your name yet, senior."
As he spoke, he handed the pill to Su Zhan.
Seeing her insistence, Su Zhan put it away.
"Su Zhan."
Shi Yun'er's expression remained unchanged as she smiled and spoke.
"So it's Senior Su. What a beautiful and imposing name."
"Unlike me, it's too simple."
Su Zhan countered with a question.
"Isn't simplicity good enough? I think it sounds great."
"And it sounds much better than any of those names like Qing'er, Qing'er, Zi'er, Linger."
Shi Yun'er's smile widened a little.
"What Senior Su said must make sense."
I like my own name more now.
"Next, let's find a place to stay."
Su Zhan stopped in his tracks.
"We were just strangers who met by chance, and it's time for us to go our separate ways."
"Aren't you still looking for your Junior Sister? Go on."
Shi Yun'er was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded dejectedly.
"Alright, then we'll meet again someday, Senior Su. I'll be going now."
Take care.
After saying that, Shi Yun'er turned and left.
She kept turning back to look at Su Zhan, reluctant to leave.
Su Zhan, however, turned onto another street.
But what he didn't see was that after he left, the gentle reluctance on Shi Yun'er's face vanished completely, replaced by hatred.
Shi Yun'er immediately went to the City Lord's Mansion, entered through the back door, and made her way to the City Lord's residence. The City Lord took off his Mask, revealing a face that looked very similar to Shi Yun'er's.
"Mother."
"My sister has indeed perished. It's unclear who did it, but I do know who the culprit is: a Cultivator named Su Zhan."
"Now that Su Zhan has arrived here, I encountered him in the Desert and brought him here. I don't know where he is now. Have your men search for him; they can find him easily. We must eliminate him and avenge my sister."
Shi Yun'er and Guo Ling'er are Twin Sisters.
Guo is the City Lord's surname. Shi Yun'er joined the Silent Sect while hiding her identity. Guo Ling'er stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, but she was too unruly and was often scolded by the City Lord.
Guo Ling'er has a terrible temper, and when she couldn't stand it, she left, saying she was going to find her father.
They went to another Realm and found the Grand Elder of the East Mountain Sect. The Grand Elder was unwilling to admit it, and Guo Ling'er was not sure if he was really the one.
But the other party treated him very well, and he felt he would lose face if he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, so he stayed at the East Mountain Sect. Who knew it would end like this?
Life Token was broken, City Lord Guo couldn't leave and could only send Shi Yun'er to see what happened.
Shi Yun'er quickly found out everything about Guo Ling'er, and even went to the Water Lotus Sect to threaten an Elder's disciple before learning the truth.
Therefore, Su Zhan is the Culprit.
In fact, there are many people Shi Yun'er hates, but City Lord Guo doesn't have time to deal with them for the time being. Su Zhan is the trigger here, and she hates Su Zhan the most. Getting rid of Su Zhan will also allow her to vent her anger.
After carefully inquiring about everything, City Lord Guo slowly began to speak.
"No rush. This person is quite capable and doesn't seem to suspect you yet. Perhaps we can make use of him."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yun'er was immediately furious.
"Mother, don't you want to avenge my sister?"
City Lord Guo looked over coldly.
His gaze seemed to be directed not at his daughter, but at his enemy.
This chilled Shi Yun'er's heart.
